Our Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬â€™s Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. The Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge acknowledges and deeply appreciates the Siksikaitsitapii peoples’ connection to their traditional territory. We, as people living and benefiting from Blackfoot Confederacy traditional territory, honour the traditions of people who have cared for this land since time immemorial. We recognize the diverse population of Aboriginal peoples who attend the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge and the contributions these Aboriginal peoples have made in shaping and strengthening the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ community in the past, present, and in the future.
